Bovine VEGF-A Recombinant Protein

Stable for up to twelve months from date of receipt at -20°C. Stable for at least 3 months when
stored in working aliquots with a carrier protein at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Lyophilized without carrier protein.

Growth factor active in angiogenesis, vasculogenesis and endothelial cell growth. Induces endothelial cell proliferation, promotes cell migration, inhibits apoptosis and induces permeabilization of blood vessels. Binds to the FLT1/VEGFR1 and KDR/VEGFR2 receptors, heparan sulfate and heparin (By similarity). Binding to NRP1 receptor initiates a signaling pathway needed for motor neuron axon guidance and cell body migration, including for the caudal migration of facial motor neurons from rhombomere 4 to rhombomere 6 during embryonic development (By similarity).
